12 Animated Features Vie for the 2007 Oscar
November 10th, 2007 by Andre Soares
Twelve features have been submitted for consideration in the Animated Feature Film category for the 80th Academy Awards.
They are:
- Alvin and the Chipmunks
- Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters
- Bee Movie
- Beowulf (see trailer below)
- Meet the Robinsons
- Persepolis (top photo)
- Ratatouille
- Shrek the Third
- The Simpsons Movie
- Surf’s Up
- Tekkonkinkreet
- TMNT
Only three of the above films will receive an Oscar nomination, as there are fewer than 16 contenders. It should be noted, however, that Alvin and the Chipmunks, the all-CGI Beowulf (above), and Persepolis have not yet had their required Los Angeles qualifying run.
Films submitted in the Animated Feature Film category may also qualify for other Academy Award nominations, as long as they meet the requirements for those other categories.
The nominations for the 80th Academy Awards will be announced on Tuesday, January 22, 2008, at 5:30 a.m. Pacific Time in the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
The awards ceremony will take place on Sunday, February 24, 2008, at the Kodak Theatre at the Hollywood & Highland Center.
